tzmkira002, 13 Feb 2023Mate 50 Pro is clearly betterthe p60 pro is much more better for sure, because of that new telephoto lens. It may be the best or one of the best camera smartphones money can buy right now.

    Super Android 22 CRY, 02 May 2023Samsung is the best so you only have to cry harder. No matt... morewell, samsung is not always the best when it comes to camera, but they were always the best when it comes to video stabilization, the stabilization in the samsung s23 ultra is so superb and out of this world if you ask me. This is the first time that I have been surprised and in love with a samsung flagship phone, great job for samsung for getting the S23 ultra into the market. But as always samsung doesn't always have the best camera, since brands have their pros and cons when it comes to smartphone cameras, so cry and scream on the top of your lungs samsung die - hard fan.

      gsmarena should replace the Xiaomi 12 Lite with the Pixel 7 and add the Find X6 Pro to this list unless you are payed to post some specific phones

          Super Android 22, 22 Apr 2023Im really struggling to see how the s23u is "best came... moreSamsung is the best so you only have to cry harder. No matter how much effort you put at the top of your lungs, you'll cry again because you can't handle reality!

            Im really struggling to see how the s23u is "best camera smartphone" when they've literally done tests proving its not. I just dont get how GSM still try and push the ultra from samsungs flagship line with so much ignorance and biased.

            Its not the best cameraphone (puttting 2 average sensors on just so it can do 2 different lengths doesnt make it good), its main sensor is a numbers gimmick and again has been proven it gets out performed by the imx 989. Its not like there isnt other phones with 2 telephoto sensors, a main and UW.

            Ugly phone, way too heavy, doesnt have the best screen even though everyone uses samsung screens, has a pointless pen that could be removed for way better hardware features. Average UI, not better performance with an overclocked SoC, one of the slowest charging on a flagship, stupidly sloe wireless and reverse wireless, no extra hardware features like 360° NFC, DP connection through usb c, an actual face unlock sensor, actual improvments with battery materials and tech, high pwm screen or touch sampling rate.

            The biggest laugh is its replaced the s22u as "best cameraphone" which wasnt even in the top 5 of best phones or cameraphones... Come on GSM 🥱🤨😮‍💨

              Anonymous, 28 Mar 2023It is very bad at night! (You can see CNET review)Not true, pixels actually have some of the best low light pictures on the market. The weird thing is doing a blind photo test peoples favourite night pics were from the oppo find x5 pro, pixel 6a and pixel 7 pro (not in that order). They all absolutely destroy the iphone 14 pro max (they messed up swapping to the new 48mp main).

                    Canon Eos R5 and Sony Alpha 1 are winners 😎
                    Professional cameras are truly incomparable with artificial intelligence cameras (Of course, we also have winners from Nikon, Panasonic, etc)

                              On the list of the most prestigious portal about smartphone cameras, the S22 ultra is 16th.

                                Mate 50 Pro is clearly better

                                    SirArtur, 07 Dec 2022Why Pixel 7 has in cons "charging speed" and iPh... moreExactly!

                                      YUKI93, 15 Nov 2022For camera phones of 2022, my vote goes for the Xiaomi 12S ... moreSame here but in my testings Xperia 1IV have some amazing results with some third party! So I would give a no 1 to Xperia 1!

                                        Where is the honor magic 4 pro/ultimate? Also mate 50 Pro takes better quality pics than the pixel, iPhone and s22 ultra, just a far better main cam even if it is just an imx 766. Also why does the pixel 7 Pro have "tensor chip" as a positive (tensor chips are the worst "top end" SoCs on the market) but you didn't put it for the pixel 7?

                                        Also iPhone has very slow charging and the fact it doesn't come with a charger which aren't included (also it still uses the dead lightning port and American models come without a sim card tray) as negatives but the Sony Xperia has these as negatives and the pixels? The galaxy s22 ultra doesn't have any of these as negatives either or the fact many models have had power issues, batteries melting aswell. (same for the Oneplus, it literally can snap in half yet this isn't a negative is it not?) You not gunna correct the mistakes and placement of devices?

                                        I keep saying you guys have brand favouritism (Oneplus is definitely in your top 5 favourites) but this is a bit silly with these obvious mistakes and biased choice of devices (s22 ultra just isn't the best on any scale you could think of except versitility).
